title: RespDoc: a new clinical decision support system for childhood asthma management based on Fraction of Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) measurements.
abstract: The use of Fraction of Exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO) for measurement of inflammation in the respiratory system is a good way to assess the level of asthma in children. In this paper we present a new Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for Childhood Asthma Management based on FeNO, which is named RespDoc. The core of RespDoc is a decision making algorithm and a patient's monitoring process that are extensively analyzed in the paper. The performance of RespDoc is tested through the process and assessment of archived patients' data.
